[He might've hesitated to offer out his hands to her if it were earlier, if it were another situation, but he's on such a similar page to Grell right now that it's easy, especially once he notes the light coming from her hands; it's not a hard conclusion to make of her plan.]
[But the worst of the fires are finally out, dimmed, and the ruined parts of the outpost are down to smolders like the forest around it. Patches are covered in ice, but it keeps the area cool, and it'll melt into water besides.]
[her touch is surprisingly gentle as she places Sol on the backs of Bellamy's hands, the ash lighting up along the rune's line, and she moves to those who're remaining on the ground to offer them the same. those who want to stay in the trees don't need the light to alert anything.]
Right then. We're all fortunate this visitor didn't rid us of the place entirely, else I'd say we'd have to start making our way to Azure. It'll be a tight fit, but I can start drawing up the plans tonight for replicating what magic we channelled into the structure to avoid damaging the trees while we built. The last thing we need is angry dryads on us when we're trying to rebuild.
[He's not really used to other people using rune magic on him, but at least the sensation is familiar. And now he's got a light, a flashlight without batteries.]
[He nods along with Grell's plan.]
We'll need to make sure the remaining structure is stable enough - it doesn't look like it was hit, but I wanna check on the magic still in place anyway. [A beat.] I can stay overnight, if you want an extra person here.
They're probably not dumb enough to come back, but you never know. At least they didn't hit the half with the food in it.
[it's so calm and mundane in spite of everything that Ascelyn ends up laughing, quickly looking embarrassed about it before they can draw up a plan. guard duties as usual for the ring, with either Bellamy or Grell with them as well. doubling up on beds, and in the morning they can make a list of what's been lost in the destruction. everyone's to keep their weapons at hand, even if they're resting.]
